We have several things to go over today--- PS has been busy this past week!1️⃣Did you see the NEW video posted on the Virtual Smooches blog? I took your advice and started sharing my ideas again! THANK YOU!!! I posted a super cute bunny decoration for Easter, as well as photos of a super cute kid. Check it out HERE. Or watch the video HERE.

2️⃣Did you catch our relaunch for the monthly challenges? We started them back up this month!!! We started with a fan favorite, a sketch, and we have three winners instead of one🤗 Click HERE for more details and to play along! Or link up below!

3️⃣ I created a card for the challenge this week, and I'm trying to create a process video for another card design as well. I did change the sketch a bit, but I love how it turned out (and Trav said this is his favorite card to date... that is until I make another! LOL!). PS stamps/dies I used include: Many Thanks, File Tab dies, Thanks So Much die.

4️⃣MORE inspiration to come here on the blog from the DT so be sure to stop back by **and scroll down to check out some beautiful creations shared this past week from the DT! LOVE LOVE LOVE the talent on this team!❤️

I think that's it for this Sunday Recap.Thanks so much for stopping by! And again, THANKS for your help with my videos and feedback! Be blessed ❤️Sav

Also, I need your help! I have been taking some time to think about how to make videos again. It's been kind of hard to make videos due to our move and then I got some nasty comments here recently that broke my heart. Could you leave a comment and let me know what you want to see in our Virtual Smooches videos? Here are some questions to think about-

Did you know we have an educational blog where we share videos of tips, tricks, techniques, and funnies!?

Do you want to see basic how-to's?

Unique techniques?

How I process ideas or how I create something that is popular without the same supplies (kind of like THIS video where I created a pixelated image using the PS Cross Stitch die and glue dots)?

What would make you watch one of our videos?

How can I make better videos for you?

I've had a blooper video (a fav for everyone because it shows we all make mistakes) ready for some time, but I am afraid to share another video since I've received hurtful comments lately. I know I'm nothing compared to Jennifer McGuire... but I do have some ideas I would like to share! And before I do, I want to make sure I'm sharing what you want to see and learn. Thank you for taking the time to let me know your thoughts and for your love and support!

A squirrel monkey named Miss Baker was one of the first animals to be launched into space by the United States and recovered alive. She lived to the age of 27, becoming the longest living squirrel monkey, and her tombstone often has a banana or two on top of it.

Last month we took a poll and you voted! You let us know that sketches were your favorite challenge, with word/themed challenges in a close second! We will be mixing it up a bit and using some of the top picks as our monthly challenges. Thanks so much for voting!!!

We are starting off with the number one pick, which makes our March 2018 challenge a SKETCH! **NOTE: You can follow this sketch closely or use it loosely. Just have fun!

A 3M adhesive tape plant accidentally created a force field of static electricity that was strong enough to prevent humans from passing through. A person near this “wall” was unable to turn, and so had to walk backwards to retreat from it.

In 2013, George Clooney surprised 14 friends with 1 million dollars each. They were friends who helped him before he became famous. Some were living paycheck to paycheck at the time. He also paid for the taxes.

People are more likely to donate to a sick dog than a sick child. A charity ran an experiment where they asked for money and exchanged the picture of a child for that of a dog. More people chose to donate to the dog.
